Weather will remain a core mechanic, but specific percentages and effects may be tuned as needed. *** ## 🌍 **Global Weather Cycle** Weather changes globally at set intervals, and all players experience the same conditions together. **Weather is global, fair, and equal for everyone.** Current weather types (subject to change): * ☀️ Sunny * 🌤️ Mild * 🌥️ Cloudy * 🌿 Breezy * 🌧️ Rainy * ❄️ Cold * ⛈️ Stormy More types may be added later (seasonal, rare, partner-integrated, etc.). *** ## ⚙️ **Weather Effects (Under Development)** Weather can influence: #### ✔ Energy Efficiency #### ✔ Cooldown Durations #### ✔ Watering Requirements #### ✔ Harvest Yield (boosts and penalties) #### ✔ Farm Cell energy usage These mechanics are actively being tuned and may change after community testing. *** ## 🌈 **Weather Effects Breakdown (Subject to Change)** These boost/penalty ranges are placeholders for balancing: *** ### ☀️ Sunny * +5–10% TOMATOE * Faster planting * Faster harvest cooldown * Higher water usage *** ### 🌤️ Mild * Neutral weather * Ideal for consistent farming *** ### 🌥️ Cloudy * Slight harvest boost * Normal water usage * Slight cooldown reduction *** ### 🌿 Breezy * +5–15% TOMATOE * Faster watering cooldown * Faster harvesting cooldown *** ### 🌧️ Rainy * –5–10% TOMATOE * Slower harvest cooldown * Fewer waterings needed * Lower watering energy cost *** ### ❄️ Cold * –5–15% TOMATOE * Longer harvest cooldown * Slower planting & growth timing *** ### ⛈️ Stormy * –10–15% TOMATOE * Highest energy cost * Longest cooldowns *** ## 🔍 **Balance Philosophy** #### ✔ Weather boosts and penalties affect ALL players equally #### ✔ Values will be adjusted during testing #### ✔ Weather adds depth, not pay-to-win outcomes #### ✔ Boost/penalty ranges are conservative and tunable Everything in this system is **subject to ongoing development and refinement**. *** ## 🧭 **Player Strategy (May Evolve During Testing)** Players can: * Time their harvests for good weather * Avoid farming during harsh cycles * Stockpile energy for boosts * Plan long-term cycles based on rhythm These strategies may evolve as the system is balanced. *** ## ⚠️ **Development Status Notice** Because weather is a new and complex mechanic, it remains: #### ▪ Under Active Development #### ▪ Subject to Mechanical Changes #### ▪ Subject to Value Tuning #### ▪ Subject to Additional Features #### ▪ Dependent on player feedback and testing Weather will be adjusted as farming expands, new crops are introduced, and partner modules integrate. *** ## 🎯 **Summary** The Weather System is a dynamic resource modifier that impacts energy timing, farming efficiency, and harvest yield.\ It adds strategy, timing, and skill — without giving unfair advantages. However: #### **This entire system is under development, and all values and effects are subject to change during balancing and testing.** Weather will remain a core part of The CleanupCentr, but its exact tuning will evolve to ensure long-term stability, fairness, and fun. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
